... For lunch we headed to Milkylane! as it was lunchtime I felt bad having ridiculously sweet pancakes so I went for the savoury waffle and an extra thick lime milkshake (after Paul insisting profusely I try one!), and Paul got the mint Aero pancakes – and wow my eyes bulged when the extra sauces came out! Chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch, caramel, maple AND golden syrup, honey... and all of the above were put on Paul's pancakes which already had loads of chocolate goodness ...

... see the tension in his face, arm and legs reduce. After the first time I played for him I asked him how he felt about the music and he answered, "I want to remember you." It didn't take me long to choose a selection of music to include with this entry, I found a song that I recorded at a Rivoningo devotion just a few days before Hendrick died. I had never heard the song before and since the lyrics are few I simply saved it as "Remember Me." Hendrick we will remember you.

... got into bed and were unconscious within seconds!! Today we've chilled out and been to the mall. In a sec I'm going to join Carlien by the pool in the back garden ;) Tomorrow we are going to a farm where they keep lots of game animals so I'm quite excited! While we are here we'll hopefully be doing a safari, lots of diving (including cage diving with great white sharks) and maybe the infamous bungy..........hmmmmm.........!! So all in all it's pretty ...

... highway with a speed limit of 120 km/hr (75 mph), this is the R28 (open other file attached to e-mail for map). I rode in the car in the back on the right side, behind the driver. After doing this drive a couple of times I stopped doing double takes when a car with no passenger zipped by us on the right side appearing to me like no one was driving. The rest of the way is on a rural two lane road, this is the R511 (see map). The speed limit there goes up to 80 ...

... traditional c**emonial events involve the slaught** of a goat or cow. It is this close cultural and physical link with cattle, says Geoghegan, that puts rural communities at risk of infection. Anita Michel explains that people can become infected with M. bovis by drinking unpasteurised cow or goat milk and possibly by eating infected organs from slaught**ed animals. Cattle h**d**s, many of whom are young boys, are also at high risk as bovine TB can be transmitted ...

... of fresh fruit and yogurt, eggs, toast, pastrami, and coffee. It was interesting to hear about some of the different sociological norms present in South African society. Some things are very different here such as the employer/employee relationship. The 'nice' employer is not respected and often taken advantage of. Thus, many employers will strike their employees and constantly yell at them. Workers expect to be hit and disciplined. Employers are more respected when ...

We flew from Maun in Botswana to Johannesburg, where we had just over 36 hours to see the sights! After asking at the information place in the airport and being told that wherever we went we had to have our own guide we decided to find our own way to the apartheid museum. We shelled out an arm and a leg for a taxi and off we went. The museum itself was amazing, so much information and a great insight into the times, but unfortunately we didn't make it all the way ...

... Lotta was very sad although even then she was taking pictures. I started off with one driver but as we were leaving the hostel we met Franz, our excursion driver, and he took over. Luckily Franz knew an alternate route - which he called his secret road -through the traffic, which was as bad as ever. Although he got lost once and once almost hit another car, we arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare, which ...

We had our hair done, cut and highlighted blonde!! played with bearded dragons and silk worms and newfoundland dogs....all at the hairdressers house, then found out she has ...

... standards. This may be the least expensive first world country around. Here you can have a decent meal in a fairly nice restaurant with a bottle of wine for about $30 CDN. Tomorrow morning we leave for Bulawayo in Zimbabwe on our way to Victoria Falls. This involves two days of long bus rides or one day on the bus and an overnight train. Either way it will be a bit tiring.
